Fbr rates for property

FBR rates for properties

Fbr rates for property in Pakistan is hot issue these days as FBR has recently made upward revision in already prescribed FBR rates.

We believe most of our readers have an understanding of FBR prescribed rates for valuation of Immovable properties. For those who are not clear about these rates, following a detailed information about these rates and why these rates were introduced.

Why there are FBR rates for property

Cost of any asset we purchase or expense we incur has direct connection with FBR, as it is FBR’s duty to be satisfied whether the money used to buy those assets or fund those expenditures were properly taxed at first stage (at the stage when this money was earned). In case there is any indication that buyer is not taxpayer / non filer then it creates doubts about whether the money is tax-legal. So FBR can initiate action against the buyer. We understand that it is not necessary that all buyers should be taxpayers or filers there are exceptions available within the law itself.

So FBR can initiate action against the buyer. We understand that it is not necessary that all buyers should be taxpayers or filers there are exceptions available within the law itself.

Keeping you in above narrated scenario, you would agree that the single most important thing would be the value of that asset or expenditure as in case of underdeclaration, FBR would not be able to investigate the tax leakage.

Lets understand this by an example.

Lets assume Mr. A has been taxpayer but he usually understate his income by 50% i.e. if he earns Rs 1,000,000/- he declares only Rs 500,000/- and remaining routed off the records cash or benami transactions. By doing this Mr. A has accumulated a wealth of Rs 5,000,000/- but officially has only Rs 2,500,000/= (due to underdeclaration). If Mr. A buys any asset worth Rs 5,000,000/= the FBR may questions the difference of Rs 2,500,000/= since FBR records shows Mr A’s worth as Rs 2,500,000/-.

By doing this Mr. A has accumulated a wealth of Rs 5,000,000/- but officially has only Rs 2,500,000/= (due to underdeclaration). If Mr. A buys any asset worth Rs 5,000,000/= the FBR may questions the difference of Rs 2,500,000/= since FBR records shows Mr A’s worth as Rs 2,500,000/-.

Now here comes the role of real estate market, which has been favourite arena for tax-evaders. In Pakistan immovable property has to be registered with registration authority where value is taken as higher of actual deal rate or rates as per registration authorities’ own books. For example in Sindh, if any property is transferred revenue department would compare the actual deal rate (communicated by buyer / seller) with rates as per their books (as per Sindh provincial law) and choose higher of two to apply registration / transfer charges.

We understand that these rates were introduced to curb underdeclaration of immovable properties rates. For example if any property is Rs 1 million as per provincial books but actual deal is executed at Rs 2 million then Rs 2 million (Higher of Rs 1 million or Rs 2 million ) would be considered for registration / transfer charges.

It is not difficult to manipulate actual deal rate for example in above example if buyer / seller intentionally under-declare their deal rate to as low as Rs 100,000/- even then the system would consider Rs 1,000,000/- (being higher of Rs 100,000 or Rs 1,000,000) for all official purpose i.e. registration / transfer etc.

However this Rs 1 million was required to be updated from time to time so that any manipulations by buyer /seller would not have any effects on Government’s Revenue. Unfortunately those provincial rates were not updated and the situation become weird as provincial values are very low when compared with actual market of immovable properties.

Buyers / sellers were taking advantage, of this legal delay in update of values, by declaring lower rates of actual deal.

The most problematic part was not the registration / transfer charges the Government was losing due to this delay in value update, but the value to considered for the purpose of reconciliation by FBR of the taxed earned money was also the same provincial value. FBR despite knowing that the person cannot purchase any particular asset, due to his low wealth position, was not able to take action as the values were supported by provincial authority, and FBR was not empowered to go against those rates as per Income Tax law.

In this way tax evasion, was to some extent, took support from provincial law. However in the year 2016, Federal Government feeling the loss caused due to this tax leakage started its efforts to streamline provincial authorities immovable properties rate in line with market rates which was declined by Provincial authorities.

Resultantly, FBR traveled long route of prescribing FBR rates for property in almost all areas in Pakistan (however these do not cover whole Pakistan but major cities). These published rates are applicable for collection of Federal levies at the time of registration / transfer of immovable properties.

Initially, immovable properties rates for major cities in Pakistan were published in the year 2016 in the month of July. However these rates were not equal to the market rates but were representative of almost 30% to 40% of the actual market rates which were somehow better than the provincial rates.

However after lapse of almost two and half years the Government felt the need to revise these rate in upward direction.

Sales tax registration process 2019

Sales tax registration process has been recently simplified by FBR. This post is going to be a pain reliever for many small and medium business owners who are unregistered for sales tax purpose and the companies they buy products stopped selling goods to them due to their unregistered status.

The Government in its latest Budget i.e. Budget 2019 or Finance Act, 2019 made commendable efforts for documentation of economy. However some sectors of the economy believes that these measure are abruptly introduced by the Government, without denying the need for documentation they believe the implementation of these measure could be made in steps wise setup.

Without being biased on the Government’s step or the reaction of those steps by the business community we believe that the Government is simultaneously facilitating the people for implementation of it documentation of economy drive.

One of the facilitations provided, which we believe ‘Pain reliever’ is simplification of Sales tax registration process and removal of human intervention from the process. However minimal involvement of FBR officials is still there in the form of physical site verification but this is done after approval of registration which means it does not hurdles your business, you can start your business transactions from the very moment you got registration.

Before this simplified process for sales tax registration, business owners had to work both ways i.e. official and unofficial way to get it done. Further the time to get registration for other than manufacture business was not less than 15 days and for manufacturing business registration it was 30 days to say the least. Pertinent to mention that during this period you were not allowed to transact your business legally which includes sale, purchase and import of goods or machinery.

One can understand the pain of restriction on business when business owners are all-ready to get registration. What was taking that much time for registration of business ‘willing’ to get registration?. The answer to this question is well known to FBR, all we know is that the same registration is done in minutes after the introduction of this new process.

So, coming to the new system, lets discuss briefly about the process and time required.

Process for sales tax registration :

The process starts with online application for which you need following

1.            Two Pictures of Office / Shop / Warehouse (One from outside)

2.            Picture of electric meter

3.            Electricity bill

4.            Business Bank Account maintenance certificate

5.            Pictures of Plant and Machinery (only in case of Manufacturer)

6. Code received on mobile of any of the selected Director of the Company (only in the case of Company)

Note: Location services must be “on” in your mobile while taking photos

Time required for sales tax registration:

1 hour. For manufacturer and non-manufacturers.

After sales tax registration compliance:

1. Once registration is complete and sales tax registration number is allotted within 30 days, you will need to visit any NADRA center for bio-metric verification, in case of company the selected director’s visit is required. This is very important step as the consequence of not doing this step will make your registration ‘inactive’ which will expose you to the same old methods of getting things done officially or unofficially to make your registration active again. So it’s very important to get this step done as soon as possible within 30 days of registration.

2. Monthly sales tax return filing After registration, sales tax return filing becomes mandatory even if there is no activity or you got registration on the last day of the month. You will need to calculate your sales payable (if any) on 15th day of the month subsequent to registration and file sales tax return on 18th day of the month subsequent to sales tax registration.

3. Facilitate visit by FBR officials Even in the new process, in the case of manufacturers, FBR officials would visit the manufacturing site (day, time the name of person visiting would be informed in advance to avoid any confusion or mal-practice). Physical inspection thing is fair enough in view of mal-practices business owners do, for example there are many cases discovered by FBR where there was no manufacturing facility was available and the registered person was enjoying benefit that are available to a manufacturing concern only.4. Reply to any notice issued by FBR. Notices from FBR should be respected and taken seriously as FBR is one the most powerful fiscal authorities in Pakistan further being Government’s functionary it should be treated with priority. Having said that, the Sales Tax Act, 1990 requires every registered person to provide any information that may be requested by FBR from time to time. In case of non-compliance penalty as well as other repercussions will follow. We tried to cover major difficulty areas for sales tax registration or FAQs related to the subject.

Caution

Nonetheless, our readers are requested to seek professional advice before concluding anything based on the information provided above. Before closing this post, we feel it appropriate to inform that the new process has all good things to do, however there is no option of modification therefore you need to do it correctly in the very first time. You may contact us for more information.

Are you confident about your tax filing ?

It is misconception in Pakistan that return filers are generally questioned more than anyone else, there may be other reasons for this, but in our 25 years of practice we generally encounters issues created by tax filers for their own selves due to “incorrect” tax filing inviting FBR to take action.

When comes to tax filings, there is certain group who dont prefer to file it at all.

However there are filers as recently FBR announced surprisingly great increase in Tax filers, however the question whether they are confident about their tax filings is unanswered in many cases.

In many cases, simple transactions are carelessly declared by novice consultants or by taxpayers themselve resulting in undue notices.

This creates overall bad impression that FBR issues notices to FILERS however this not correct when Income Tax return with errors is filed.

Therefore we believe one should be very careful while filing his / her income tax return to avoid tax notice, as tax filing does not automatically qualifies it to be “Correct” filing, your Income tax return has to pass the test of assessment by FBR.
